It is possible in standard CSS:
h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 { font-variant: small-caps ; }
See for example:
http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/fonts.html
This should use the small-caps glyph variants defined in OpenType/TrueType
fonts. See for example:
http://www.typotheque.com/fonts/small_caps_in_opentype/
There are other variants like the x-caps variant (the small-caps variant is
defined with a height intermediate between the M-height capitals and the
lowercase x-height used by x-caps)
For TrueType/OpenType, see the “smcp”, “c2sc” features in the specs...
